Excellence Fund
The Women in Math and Science (WIMS) Program began in 2006 with a simple idea: get young women in Idaho schools to think about careers in STEM.
Gifts to the College of Science Excellence Fund are used by the dean to help the college meet its strategic goals. Here are a few examples of programs and efforts that have been paid for through the excellence fund in recent years:
- Our popular Women in Math and Science program, is open to all and encourages students in junior high and high school to pursue studies and careers in STEM fields.
- The College of Science Student Research Expo, a poster session highlighting original work done by undergraduate and graduate students in the college
- College of Science recruiting efforts
- Student and faculty awards
- Outreach to alumni and friends, such as an annual faculty research presentation in Boise.
